An American biography of Adam Mickiewicz and its author

Summary/Abstract: Review: Roman Robert Koropeckyj, Adam Mickiewicz. The Life of a Romantic, Cornell University Press, Ithaca 2008. This discussion of the most recent biography of Adam Mickiewicz, by Roman R. Koropeckyj, presents the book in the context of the American Slavicist’s entire output. Koropeckyj deals with Polish romanticist literature, and Mickiewicz in particular – being an expert not only on the poet as such but also on all his existing biographies. This makes The Life of a Romantic an important contribution to the discussion on how the Polish Bard’s life is represented in what has been written about it, and in the way the biographies are written.
